  01-10-2026 17:38 via gamespot.com
  
  Rockstar's games are known for their impressive attention to detail, along with their massive scopes, and GTA 6 is seemingly going to up the ante in that regard. Rockstar boss Aaron Garbut said in an interview that a developer might compromise scale for detail or detail for interaction "but not with this project.""We went the other way," he told Game Informer. "Everything is dialed up--detail, scope, breadth, scale, interaction, and density." He went on to say Rockstar has never "created anythin

• The Street Fighter Movie’s Most Obscure Easter Egg Is For True Fighting Game Nerds

  02-10-2026 14:45 via gamespot.com
  
  Ahead of its release later this month, marketing for the Street Fighter movie has focused on deep references to the long-running fighting game series. How deep? We already knew that fighting game legend Justin Wong--alongside Michael "IFC Yipes" Mendoza--was making a cameo as one of the inmates who watches Ryu take on Blanka in a prison fight, but even his prisoner costume hides one heck of an Easter egg. Any fighting game fan will instantly recognize it: on Wong's neck, you can spot the nu

• Activision Could Be Giving Halo Something It Hasn’t Had In Years: A Clean Slate

  02-10-2026 14:26 via gamespot.com
  
  Halo has a new home at Activision following recent changes at Xbox, and while it's still early days, Activision has reportedly proposed a total reboot for the series. This would be a fresh start, moving away from the convoluted Halo lore built up over the last 25 years through various games and spin-off media. That's according to sources who spoke to Rebs Gaming, who also stressed that nothing is concrete right now. Call of Duty developer Sledgehammer Games presented conceptual prototypes for a

• Star Wars: Galactic Racer review: "True to its Burnout legacy, blisteringly fast space racing keeps me coming back"

  02-10-2026 14:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  Star Wars is full of vile scum and hideous villains worthy of punishment, but perhaps none have a face more punchable than the arch-rival of Star Wars: Galactic Racer, Kestar Bool. He's the current champion of the recently established Galactic League and is a truly detestable one at that. A whinging, arrogant rich kid with an undeniable talent for tearing up the track who really needs to be taken down a peg or two.The moment the game's faceless protagonist, Shade, meets him was all the motivatio

  I never would have guessed that putting roguelike elements into a racer would create a winning formula.I felt such a sense of whiplash jumping into Star Wars Galactic Racer from Zero Company. Unlike Zero Company--and plenty of the other Star Wars games we've gotten in recent years, like Survivor and Squadrons--Galactic Racer isn't trying to emulate the science-fantasy drama that defines the majority of the Star Wars movies and other assorted fiction.

Unlike Zero Company--and plenty of the other Star Wars games we've gotten in recent years, like Survivor and Squadrons--Galactic Racer isn't trying to emulate the science-fantasy drama that defines the majority of the Star Wars movies and other assorted fiction.

• I played an evening of Big Walk on Steam Frame, and it felt like wearing a Steam Deck on my face

  02-10-2026 13:40 via gamesradar.com
  
  Last night, I was away from home. I had to come to Edinburgh, roughly an hour away from where I live because later today I've got an appointment in the city. That meant staying at my mum's, where I don't have access to a gaming PC. In fact, the closest thing she has to any gaming hardware is my old TV I gave to her six years ago, and a soundbar she got from my brother for her birthday.Here's the issue: I was meant to be playing Big Walk with two of my best friends, and seeing as getting the thre

  MediEvil, the iconic gothic PS1 platformer, is the latest classic to get the PC recompilation treatment, and I'm thrilled to confirm AI isn't involved. I'll admit that my heart initially sank given that the retro recomp scene is currently plagued with vibe-coded projects, and while the artist and voice behind Sir Dan has appropriate words for anyone who's thinking of doing that to the classic caper, this specific project is officially made with "human hands."Highlighted by Gallowpedia, the MediE

  Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 executive producer and Warhorse Studios co-founder Martin Klíma says that he doesn't get why GTA is so popular, but he's hoping GTA 6's success allows developers to raise the price of games across the board. For the longest time, the assumption around GTA 6 was that Rockstar would be able to charge whatever it wanted for it, as people would show up thanks to the long wait and massive hype. While some were predicting the game could end up at a base price of $100

• Disney boss thinks the live-action Moana sunk at the box office because there wasn't enough "demand for another film"

  Moana's live-action sequel failed to win over critics and audiences when it swam onto our screens earlier this year, and one Disney boss thinks they know why. Disney president and chief creative officer Dana Walden thinks the issue came from the Moana sequel being released too close to the live-action remake. “It’s so competitive right now that you have to have, the right film at the right time, with audiences feeling a certain degree of demand," she told Bloomberg’s Screentime

• One of Diablo 2's most coveted items surprise-drops in Diablo 4, and it's just as OP as 25 years ago

  Old Diablo heads will remember the Annihilus charm from Diablo 2 as one of the iconic ARPG's most powerful and coveted items. Even in its worst-rolled form, having one in your inventory granted +1 to all skills, +10 to all attributes, +10 to all resistances, and +5 to XP gained. It's the only small charm in the game that grants bonuses to all skills and attributes, and because it's small, it only takes up a single inventory space. It's the crown jewel of Diablo 2's endgame, and now it's in Diabl

  The survival-horror genre was born about 30 years ago, when people were scared of long shadows in Resident Evil's mansion, or of Silent Hill's medical gauzy fog -- but we've since moved on to more insidious enemies. There are data breaches from Meta, AI-generated restaurant menus that make burritos look like they've been shot with a gun, and other evidence that technology is constantly distorting and desecrating our lives. Upcoming Silent Hill-ish horror game Signal Veil understands the weight o

• RPG legend behind Fallout: New Vegas does "everything" he can to stop save scumming

Josh Sawyer, the legendary RPG director behind Fallout: New Vegas and Pillars of Eternity, really wishes players understood that – or, at least, he wishes he'd been more cynical about player behaviour when designing some of his games.The crux of the issue is this: players see a 95% chance of a given action being successful, and they're shoc

  I have a complicated relationship with the 1990s, an era remembered for its hazy pre-HD tech and early signs of broader connectivity without the mentally taxing standard of an always-online world. Lately, I've found the aesthetics of that era calling to me in the books I read, the shows I watch, and even in my social media feeds that regularly spit out "remember when?" reels that dredge up imagery of classrooms and malls that I never actually set foot in yet feel familiar.

  For almost two years, I've watched various friends, family members, and co-workers adopt the PS5 Pro, and I've largely been managing my jealousy with one notable exception: PSSR. The PS5 Pro's AI-powered upscaling tech is genuinely next-gen stuff, and makes games that already look exceptional on the base PS5 appear noticeably sharper and more detailed. It's not so impressive that I want to spend $900 to upgrade to the PS5 Pro, but it's enough to make my six-year-old PS5 look even dustier than it
